What's "Post Grouting Job recommendation" and how big is the "gap"?

IMO, tiles must go higher than any water/splashes can get. In this case, there is no anything to 'seal'. Ideally, it has to be edging trim at the top of the tiles

It has to be added together with tiles.

Otherwise it can be any filler or even caulk.

Post groutings means after recent Tiles re grouting job, which I advertised on my builder.
The tradesperson recommend I consider using white filler as there is a very slight gap between flat roof and internal bathroom wall tiles, though I'll check total additional non tiled part as tiles are shorter than top of flat roof walls, hence I want to fill or cover each darkened are which means accross top of each walls.

thanks 

Do you mean filling 1.5cm gap flash with the tiles? Personally, I don't like this, but if you want to, then silicon isn't the right material for this.

I don't understand why the 'builder', instead of giving 'recommendations', hasn't done this very simple job himself when re-grouting .

Maybe this Edging Trim tape or similar top rows of Tiles.
Excellent shopping trip tomorrow, I couldn't think what to use for this type of job.

thanks everyone!

@grumbler

No further comments ref 'builder' as it took over 11 hours to clean and re grout tiles, their immaculate.
After almost +5 years of Bathroom floor being insurance replaced inc' bath.
Only one failed 'tiler' attendance resulted in job being closed and later years tiles grouting 'mess'

I don't have required skills to use any other 'solid' type materials.
I think I'll try Edging Tape +Silicon Filler in Gun.
Only concern is it could need a lot of Silicone Filler.

thanks

and which 'recommended Materials' are available, please

Flexi Bath seal, as used by recent excellent tradesperson.
If this can be cut thinner with Scissors or Stanley knife, could this be used as Gap filler.

I recommend cutting some tiles and placing in the gap. Putting a flexible seal , or silicone/filler is just a bad job imo. And I’d expect a customer to kick off with me if I left a job like that 30/40 mm gap. Tops 5mm gap

If you have grout left you can use it instead.

Poly filler in a 30/40 gap 🙈

For a 1.5cm gap I would consider small coving. It will give a much tidier and more finished look than putting any kind of strip around the top, which will always look a bit like you have tried to cover a gap.

You can get mini coving like this

Which is on 4cm so would cover your gap well
